Mhm.... that's strange. Could you perhaps try running this: ```Python >>> from cloudvolume import CloudVolume >>> vol = CloudVolume('precomputed://gs://iarpa_microns/minnie/minnie65/seg', cache=True, use_https=True) ``` See if that throws the same error?

Cool! I didn't even check if it needed to be compiled. Just came across it and thought it might be worth exploring. If it turns out to be useful, it...

@dokato: any thoughts on that? @swilson27: technically `navis` doesn't actually need `pyqt5` anymore. It's only there as a backend for `vispy` which we use for 3D plotting from the terminal....

Hi @swilson27. Has any of the above helped you to install navis?

Yeah just keep 'em coming! > On a similar theme, there's a few if inplace: return None which could just be skipped - nothing wrong with returning the mutated input...
